Subluxation of the Lower Back
Subluxations are caused by slips, falls, and accidents. They're also caused by gradual wear and tear brought on by such things as long hours of driving, poor posture, awkward sitting positions, unsafe lifting maneuvers, stress, sudden twisting actions and repetitive motions.
Back Pain
Back Pain affects 80% of Americans at some time in their lives. It comes in many forms, from lower back pain to neck pain to whiplash to sciatica. Back pain is not a diagnosis -- it's a symptom of an underlying condition. Common back pain causes include nerve problems, disc problems, osteoarthritis, and muscular problems. Many people find relief from back pain through chiropractic. We combine chiropractic with exercise and physical therapy to ensure a lasting result.
If your back pain is relentless, and you're sick and tired of suffering, reading below may be one of the most important things you've done to improve your health and well being.
Drugs can only mask back pain; it will never cure your low back pain, and furthermore, even drugs such asaspirin, if taken over a long period of time, can cause damage to your liver, kidneys, and stomach lining. And, masking the pain just prevents you from curing the underlying source of the pain, which allows the problem to become progressively worse over time.
Before you accept your doctor's recommendation to take medication or have back surgery, you should give the alternative a try. A group of university scientists performed a double blind study on low back pain patients. One group received the traditional pain medication, while the other group received chiropractic care. While both groups reported they felt better, there was a big difference in how they felt after the treatment was discontinued.
After the treatments were discontinued, the pain returned to the first group (taking pain medication) after about one month, while the second group--the group which received chiropractic care, reported that they were pain free.
A chiropractic success story:
When I went to Dr. Nguyen I was had severe back pain and could not walk very good. After about 4-5 treatments the pain was less and when all the treatments were done, the pain was gone and I could walk normal.
